h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

It is something I do without even having to think of it. A talent ? A compulsion, maybe, but nothing serious.

That actually sometimes infuriates my partner, who always finds the TV remote control neatly placed on top of the VCR's remote control, or keeps bumping into unstable piles of pots of cosmetics in the bathroom.

I am sure I invented piles in a previous life, though I can't really prove it...

Can I get that title, please ?
So I can put it on the top of something...

The title of Keeper of Things placed on the top of other things is hereby awarded to Connie L.



Congratulations!

You invented piles?

I wish they'd never been invented

Thank you SOOOOOO much.

*Really* sorry if piles annoy you. I said I might have invented them. Or I would have if nobody did...



Connie L.

The piles you are talking about don't annoy me.

I suffer from the same affliction.

You should see my bathroom, then again, maybe you shouldn't!
I have a padded seat, which opens, and it's full of bath products, deodorants, shower gels, etc., all things I can't resist when I see "Buy 2, get one free" offers.
The windowsill is full of opened products, I have about 4 different bubble baths on the go, and 3 different shower gels hung under the shower.
Then there's the shaving equipment, carousel for toothbrushes, two different toothpastes, mouthwash, candles, pretty soap {still in their packages} a box of wet-wipes, and two pots of that gorgeous stuff that you squeeze out and it's a gel until you mix it with water and it turns into masses of creamy lather

I didn't realize that I'm an obsessive compulsive until I met a Virgo last year and when he used my bathroom for the first time, he exclaimed "Why have you got ALL those bottles?"
He had to go.
Total personality clash.



The piles I mentioned in my first post are slang for haemoroids, a very painful affliction of which I suffer, and only people who've never had them make jokes about them.
